Terrorize: To fill with terror… to coerce by intimidation

When a suicide bomber blows away the lives of students and other civilians in an Israeli café, my eyes fill with tears.

When Israeli Apache helicopters blast away the lives of innocent Palestinians, more tears flow.

Terrorism has no parameters. It sucks no matter who does the killing and who does the dying.
